Juggling between multiple platforms to access your AI Agents? We understand this problem. As devs, we thrive on speed and flow, not hunting through tabs or juggling terminals.

At Potpie, we have been working on this problem for the last few weeks and we have come up with a solution. We are super excited to announce our new Slack integration! Now you can bring your custom AI agents directly into your team's Slack workspace where communication already happens.

What is Potpie?

Potpie is an open-source platform that allows you to build and deploy custom AI agents tailored to your specific codebase. These agents can handle a wide range of tasks including debugging, code reviewing, code generation, onboarding, etc.

The Slack Integration

Instead of navigating to a separate interface, developers can now interact with their custom AI agents right where they’re already working — in Slack.

With the Potpie Slack App, it's as simple as installing it into your workspace. Once set up, you’ll have instant access to all your custom-built or pre-configured AI agents, ready to assist directly in your Slack channels and conversations.

It hardly takes 2 mins to setup the Potpie Slack App. Check out the Potpie's documentation and setup the Slack App.

How It Works

Once installed, using Potpie in Slack is intuitive:

• Add the Potpie bot to any Slack channel
• Tag the Potpie bot and ask questions or give prompt to your custom AI agents
• Receive responses directly in the Slack thread

For example:

@PotpieAI Help me with the folder structure of codebase

You can also provide a live link in the prompt for the AI Agent to refer.

For example:

Understand this issue - [issue link], and help me solve this issue and provide exact code

Thanks to the Web Access feature, your AI Agent can pull in metadata from a webpage and give you a response that’s actually tailored to the context.

Key Benefits

Seamless Workflow Integration
No more context switching between tools. Your team can stay in Slack where they're already communicating and collaborating, while still leveraging the power of custom AI Agents.

Increased Team Productivity
When AI assistance is embedded directly in your team's daily communication tool, adoption happens naturally. No more training team members on yet another platform or dealing with resistance to new tools. Your developers can immediately get answers to codebase questions, debugging help, and code reviews right where they're already working.

Knowledge Sharing
When AI Agent’s responses happen in channels rather than private conversations, knowledge is automatically shared with the team. Someone's question about any specific feature in codebase, the response becomes visible to everyone, spreading information efficiently.
